Nate Robinson is a helluva athlete. There's no denying that.
But after watching him vault Dwight Howard gymnastics style on one dunk, and actually jump off the back of Wilson Chandler on another one, I'm really wondering what the criteria for winning the dunk contest is? Remember in 2006, Robinson beat Andre Iguodala after missing no less than 14 dunks.
How could Robinson win, after Howard dunked on a 12 foot rim?
Again, Robinson is an amazing athlete, but what's going to be his next trick? A trampoline? Or maybe they'll just shoot him out of a cannon.

The dunk contest no longer caters to true bball fans! It seems to be an attempt to entertain casual fans! Howard dunked on a 12' rim for christsakes! I thought DrJ's and MJ's dunks from the "foul line" were great! However I acknowledged that neither guy leapt from behind the foul line! DW legitimately dunked on a 12' rim!!
